The Myth of Equality :: Racial Relations, Politics

In his article, The Myth of Equality written in August 2010 in his official blog, Patrick Buchanan, an American conservative political commentator, suggests that equation testament never be achievable here(predicate) in America when it comes to personal skills and abilities (par. 8). He points out the difference that is evident in the American professional sports where except those who are considered good are thriving (par. 6-7). Buchanan reveals that the standardize test that is given to students proves that there is a disparity in education among racial groups (par. 16). He infers that here in America, because we vary in our capabilities to perform at something, inequalities among racial groups are almost the standard and it is demonstrated in several institutions.One organization where inequality among racial groups is established is in the American professional sports system where only those who demonstrate excellence in the sport flourish. Buchanan interprets statistics re ported by columnist Walter Williams to cerebrate that black male athletes dominate majority of the popular sports such as the NFL and the NBA (par. 5). Furthermore, Buchanan reveals that no one complains when Hispanics and Asians who make up a good percentage of the world are not visible nor pursued after in this organization (par. 2). The enactment of standardizes testing given to students to measure their academic abilities and supposedly will limiting achievement gap only prove that the battle to the end achievement gap between racial groups is a failure. Buchanon elucidate statistics of the results from the national test under(a) the No Child Left Behind program to infer that there is a huge gap between white students and black students (par. 19). On the equivalent note, New Yorks state test scores reveals a large imbalance in academics between different racial groups (par. 16) For Buchanon, here in America, the notion of equality among racial group will never be atta ined. This is because we as an individual, whether it is academic or athletic, are all different in a great consume of way. We respond to situation differently.There is always some sort of competition that is constantly occurring and it is certainly true that only those who exhibit excellence will be superior over the rest of the population. Although Patrick Buchanans essay proves the notion that equality among races when it comes to academic is in fact a myth, he failed to illustrate other influences that grind America in to racial inequality.
